Savings Bonds - What to do
With the way this country is going are savings bonds worth the investment any more?
The reason i am asking i have some that have matured from what i was younger and i am trying to decide what to do with that money. Seems the interest rate is dismal at 1.27% on a EE where as some of my others were at 5%.
Thanks for any thoughts and feedback.

There is a very high rate of return in this but also some high risk. I'd look into it if I were you http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/..._shipping.html

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

Cash em in. Set up an Ameritrade account and buy yourself a black top hat and a monocle.

Switzerland will be voting on whether or not to protect the countries wealth by investing in gold....LOTS of gold!
The proposal, if passed, would require the country to hold one fifth of its reserves in gold within the next five years.
That would mean buting 1500 metric tons (1650 short tons) of gold worth more than $60 billion.
I wonder how high gold would go if this does happen?
Would whatever effect this has on gold also have an effect on silver as well?
(last I checked gold was $1,204.00 and silver was $16.41)

Yeah. But what effect will it have on Graphene? That's what we all want to know.

materials that conduct electricity for electronics
are in this order of conductivity
1.)copper
2.)silver
3.)gold (thought to be the best)
4.)Graphene  top gun
there is NO current lost with graphene
100 % gets thru and very fast
plus you can modify it indefinitely
when sandwiched between layers of
Photovoltaics
it will revolutionize just about everything

Switzerland voted it down yesterday.
Gold has plummeted since 2011 from a high around 1900 to now a little more then 1200...
